Stade Bergeyre was a former sports stadium in northeast ofParis,France, located in 19th district of the French capital. Built in August 1918, with financial support of Jacques Sigrand. Its capacity was approximately 15,000, and it was named after Robert Bergeyre, a young French rugby player who died at the age of 20 inWorld War I.
Bergeyre Stadium was mainly used forfootball games, and was home of theOlympique Paris team. Also,rugby,track and field and various other activities (e.g. circus) took place there. In 1924, severalfootball andrugby games of theOlympic Games took place here. However, just two years later, it was demolished because the city of Paris, which was quickly growing, needed space for housing. The neighbourhood retained the Bergeyre name, known today as Butte Bergeyre.
